A open source entity asking for donations from commercial entities

with whom they already

have a business relationship is not spam. Theo indicated he wished to

somehow coalesce and

redirect appeals so they would result in lump sums and/or machines

rather than a trickle

of small user donations. The suggested technique might be effective

at achieving Theo's

goals.
